A tribute to the recently departed

Yesterday was the NHL's annual trade deadline, also known as the day where hundreds of thousands of Canadians sit in front of a TV for hours, waiting for something to happen, even though it never does.

One of the biggest moves this year saw the Toronto Maple Leafs unload Dominic Moore to Buffalo for a draft pick.

Dominic Moore is not exactly what you would call a great player. He came out of nowhere to become a serviceable spare part on a team that has no chance of making the playoffs, endearing himself to Leafs fans because of the amount of grit he uses to make up for a comparative lack of skill.

But he also did this, so even I have to concede that he's pretty awesome.
